faux postage & bookbinding & carousel books, oh my!

(above: samples from the “Introduction to Bookbinding” class taught by Red Letter Day)

It always seems weird to me, every single time: in the middle of summer (or fall or winter) I’m sitting down with my datebook to plan up a storm of teaching. Any workshop instructor knows that most classes are scheduled well in advance; that means I’m already well into the planning stages for holiday 2015 classes while most folks are packing the RV and heading off to Lake Tahoe.

…as well as a new class or two! (“The Book of Flim Flam” and “Single Signature Hardcover Binding”)

Needless to say, there’s something for everyone, regardless of skill set! Just think: if you start planning now, you can give a handmade gift from the heart during the holiday season. Perhaps you’d like to design artistamps for your outgoing kringle mail; maybe Auntie Grace or a nephew would like a created-just-for-them journal. Whatever the case, I’ll be teaching a class that shows you how-to!

On the off chance you’ll be visiting Cascadia this summer, you are invited to attend our annual summer gathering (flyer attached). I will be attending Anna Banana’s retrospective exhibition at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria on 18-19 Sept. Â ~ Jack @ Cascadia Artpost

Thanks so very much for the invite — you’re a gem! I’m trying to figure out a way to make it up to Anna’s show — I have no doubt it’ll be the event of the year. And now that I know –>YOU’LL<– be there… 🙂

I just finished teaching a handful of classes in NYC this past May; I’m currently lining up a few things for the fall in NYC (at The Ink Pad.) I’ll be sure to make an announcement here at the RLD blog, as well as on twitter and IG once everything is confirmed!
